Sorry again -- we've had to scrub for today. Our pointing camera is jittery, and we don't want to risk an in-flight failure. We're getting a new camera flown in, and we hope to launch ~12:30 UT Wednesday.

Ah well, that's the way rockets work...

Another update -- our star tracker has bombed out on us, so the launch is delayed until Thursday. At this rate our window is going to run out...
